Regulatory Safeguards & Operational Next Steps

Systemic Transfer Safeguards

State law strictly prohibits transfers without verified passing tests in the seed-to-sale system. Initial distribution occurred solely because the third-party lab uploaded passing results.

Quality Assurance Commitment

We are re-evaluating third-party testing partnerships and establishing heightened external verification workflows to ensure lab errors never affect patients or dispensary partners.
